About 52 Duels

52 Duels is a print and play duelling game set in the fantasy world of 52 Realms: Adventures. Using only a standard poker deck, you’ll launch attacks, block damage, use items, and level up your hero’s unique skills. Whittle down your opponent’s deck first to win, but be careful, they’ll have some tricks of their own up their sleeve. With an ebb and flow similar to trading card games like Magic: The Gathering or Star Wars: Unlimited, 52 Duels offers an affordable, yet deep battling experience that will keep you coming back to the table to try new plays and strategies. Character skills and abilities are contained on one sheet of paper, and health is tracked by how many cards are left in your deck. There is no cutting or crafting required, and you’ll just need a couple of decks of playing cards to play the game. —description from the designer
